CONGO DRC
RARE LITTLE MASK
HEMBA
Rare little anthropomorphic mask.
This mask has about the same size as the small zoomorphic and anthropo-zoomorphic chimpanzee masks ( "Soko Motu" or "Mwisi Gwa So'o" ),

The Hemba are a people living in the province of Katanga (Congo Rdc) between the Congo River and Lake Tanganyika.
They are geographically and culturally close to the Lubas.
